A lot of people struggle to see the big picture.
I feel like I’m frantically running around a room at a party with all my friends who are irresponsibly drinking themselves to death and I’m trying to take cans away and get them all home safely. I hope to God we beat Michigan State tomorrow or I don’t know that I’ll be able to handle another day of this lol

Should’ve been on here during the covid year. It was a 50/50 split. done with Cal and “he deserves a few more years”. It was ugly. Especially after Saint peter’s.

With all due respect someone saying UK would be worse with Mikel Brown is one of the craziest takes I have ever heard.
He can score a lot of points but he doesn’t play hard on defense. He goes into chuck mode. It isn’t that clear cut, especially for our offense which requires people to share the load. When Louisville loses 7-8 games even in a weak ACC, get back to me

I wasn’t really impressed with him. We came out as flat as possible. Put Jasper Johnson in that role and he has a good game against us also. I give PK credit for having his players run their offense to almost perfection. Even when they didn’t score it just seemed like they were going to. There wasn’t a single possession I felt like we would get a stop.

I really blame our bigs for not leaving their feet one time to defend the rim. JQ would welcome brown in the paint and send those crazy shots to the first row. I love Moreno but can he jump on defense? Can jelly or Garrison jump on defense? Louisville got to the rim time after time.

He’s gonna win them some games and he’s going to lose them some games. Think Wade Taylor IV, Caleb Love and Josh Hubbard. Obviously, he’s better than those guys but he isn’t the god of basketball. He kicked our tails in the first half and brought us back into the game in the second. People ignore the 2nd half.

Thompson who went to OSU. Adams who went to Unc are 2 Pope could’ve had. Also holt seems to be a lost cause now cuz of waiting on Stokes
Where did you hear this? I might believe this about adams, but not Thompson. Thompson always seemed like a priority

I don't think Holt has anything to do with waiting on Stokes. Recent reports say both UK and Arizona have offered much larger NIL packages than Alabama, but Alabama still leads. Remains to be seen but looks like staying home was always very high on his list and money isn't the ultimate deciding factor with him at least.
Rare that $ doesn't win out
What happened to holt being so fond of Pope? Just another fabricated story

1) I've lived in both Lexington and Lawrence. I'd take Lawrence 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. At least in Lawrence my vehicle didn't continuously get broken into or things stolen from my property...

2) Pope has stated several times in interviews with Rothstein and Pilgram that he does not promise playing time and that it is earned. Google exists

3) How many boosters do you know personally? Do you know the exact amount we offered Dent and Wilkerson each? Do you know the exact amount they went to other schools for? Might want to look into those two specifically and get back to me.
Dent and Wilkerson would definitely improve this team and both were lost because of $, especially Wilkerson
